The 660 is built for everyday riding comfort. Why would I need a track focused bike for my daily ride to office especially if I'm squeezing through traffic. The hate for this bike is despicable
660 was made to be in the A2 middleweight category. This boosts sales as many people in the EU/UK do not have a full unrestricted license and would consider bikes like the cbr650r(94hp) or R7(74hp). Bikes need to be under 94hp so they can be restricted to 54hp to comply with the A2. I believe Switzerland is an exception to this rule as they can restrict an R6(112hp).
Y'all forget that the Daytona name has been around MUCH longer than the 675 model, and the 660 is more of a throwback to the older early 90's model Daytona 750 which was a more relaxed commuter sportbike, than it is to the Daytona 675 track focused supersport.
Yeah, I don't understand why so many are hating on the Daytona 660, either. It's an intermediate bike 🏍. It's not a beginner like the Trident, nor is it a beast like the Daytona 675. It's the in the middle bike. I guess Triumph fanboys must have a screw loose or something. 😅
I don't understand people's problem. It's a 660 Daytona, not a 675 or 900, it's a 660. Is a cbr500 an insult to the cbr 1000, or an R3 an insult to the R1. Fully faired sporty motorcycles are called Daytona at Triumph (speedy RR now excluded). Fairing sport bikes are called CBR at Honda or GSX-R at Suzuki, regardless of displacement and performance. Why should Triumph again bring a clip-on sport bike into the market that is only in stores and no one buys? Cbr650r is one of the top 5 bikes sold in my country, why wouldn't Triumph want to get involved in that market? Very interesting for younger people because of the A2 driving license. It's also just more everyday friendly, and that's what most people want to look like a super sport but not an uncomfortable seating position.
Look I get your point, I own myself a cbr650r. But imho there's a big gap between adding "R" and "RR" next to CBR. I like motorcycles that sits in between sporty and touring, they're super user friendly when you're cruising in the city and they have enough hp to drive anyone around when you need to. Having said that, I still believe Triumph could have done a better deal leaving out the Daytona name or at the very least adding a letter or two just to differentiate them.. Seems to me that Triumph is risking to ruin a great legacy tied at that name..
Thats not a fair analogy. Calling this bike a Daytona is like Dodge coming out with a new four door, 4 cylinder, 180HP compact car and calling it a Dodge Viper. This is similar to the hate that Ford received when they released the Ford Mustang Mach-E.
It's because it's competition from Japan is all parallel twins that are putting out 70hp and more road friendly with high electronic tech. This is what the new generation is in high demand for. Yea it saddens me. I'm from the Era of full on screamers and a more aggressive riding style. I own a 1st gen S1000RR and a 1250 Bandit. I don't need all that electronic tech. But it's not Triumphs fault. They know what's gonna sell more. Sure they should have kept the Daytona 675 in the line-up and called the 660 something else I agree with that. But times change. Late 90's early 00's are over. Look we can't even get an R6 anymore!!!
It's actually to do with numbers sold 95bhp is a key figure, not a coincidence. It's the maximum BHP figure that can LEGALLY be restricted to a2 compatible licence holders. So, = bigger market pool. That's it. Nothing more. Its how many more bikes they can shift.
@chasebelcher7932 I said Triumph knows what's gonna sell more. We don't have license restrictions in the states. But does it deserve the DAYTONA title?
Riding well be the proof, but this may be a brilliant move for Triumph! The last 675 Daytona was a wonderful expensive bike that didn't sell well. However, a 10k sport bike may sell in the numbers they need. In the past, Triumph has gotten a lot out of modest components with careful tuning and development. If that's the case here, it may be what the market needs. The first Daytona was a 500cc twin that was overshadowed by the 650 twin - but the 500 won the race the bike was named after and it was based on the humble T100
Nice comparison. For the name Daytona, that reminds me of the different tiers of Ninja sportbikes including the smallest Ninja 125R up through the Ninja ZX14R.
Nostalgia is a dangerous thing, I wanted to remember the 675 to be a better looking bike than it is 😅 Triumph could perhaps in the near future make a 660R, for those that wants more track focused bits? I'm also guessing the 660 is easier to get certified to Euro5+ compared to the old 675?
Die neue ist viel alltagstauglicher .Als Berliner habe ich die 675 nur 1 mal in meiner Stadt fahren gesehen.Kein Wunder wer fährt denn so ein unbequemes Zweirad?
i think someone stole the idea from one of my comments ! I said the bike is not bad, it is the name choice that will inevitably link it to the 675. Then I said name it the Trident R or use an old one like TT 660 or anything other than 675 and it would have been impossible to judge it.
@@101BadBreath Yes, really important. If name of bikes don't matter, then motorcycle companies should give their bikes names like; Bitch 1000RR , Whore 300R, Skank 500R, or some other silly name.

Yes but the old one was a failure and the 675 3cyl saved the daytona name

Someone talking some sense
in fact i don't think all this people complaining "it's not a 675" actually owned a 675.

I wonder how the Daytona 660 or CBR 650 would compare to sports bikes from the 90s, like the Yamaha Thundercat or CBR 600 F3
I rode the 660 today.. It was a beautiful ride.
They could have easily named it as Trident Sport 660 and this drama would have not started in the first place..
Ths signature crank is such a treat tho , the t plane is supposed to be a part of the brand
These type of reviews are amazing
Can you add power to price ratio similar to power to weight 😅😅😅
this would actually be such a helpful metric, though of course it wouldn't necessarily account for component quality
Your videos are the best!!
Could you make a video about the 2023 Street Triple RS?
all roads inevitably lead back to the STriple. the problem is, they made the bike too good.

Triumph Rs 660 vs daytona 660
Funny how people say "its not a Daytona" like theres such thing. Triumph owns the brand and they called it daytona, so it is a daytona like it or not
I mean, it seems like the old one isn't a Daytona
Daytona is just for marketing a sporty trident. Same as ninja, r7, rs amd so on. The name will help it sell but it's not a daytona.
True.. it's not a true Daytona... It doesn't have the DNA of the Daytona
Laughs in Daytona 765 :D
Why do they even bother with a 675 🤦
It’s not daytona. I think triumph made this in compulsion.
Imagine being upset about a name 😂
@@101BadBreath People are upset because a name is really important.
"rEaLlY iMpOrTAnT" 🤔🤣

Not a sport bike if it’s for every day comfort riding. It’s a fucking moped

The new bike should NOT be called Daytona!!!
Well it is, and that's fine...now put your big girl panties on and move on. 676 failed, no idiot makes the same mistakes again.
Imagine crying about a name. They can call it what they want buttercup.
Anyone who cares what a bike is called needs to get a life.
It's because Bajaj a corrupt company who is the reason
